Is it alright to take money from fishes or degenerate gamblers?

Of course it is. The object of the game is winning. I don't get to play live poker as much as I would like but when I am in Vegas the best times are late Friday and Saturday evenings when those who have had way too much to drink start settling in at a poker table. To say that hey gamble "freely" is an understatement. As long as they aren't too belligerent and too boisterous I am happy to help separate them from their chips. After all, the more money I take from them the less they will have to continue drinking. I consider this doing a public service!

that is poker, actually the difference of gamblers or fish against a good player is very thin, do you have any proper way to gauge who is fish or who is not? or is just speculative? i mean there is not a real parameter to define a player as a good one or a bad one, it's just your perception, further comments on that is that the same player doesn't perfom even everytime so sometimes looks like the greatest and sometimes as a whale

lol this.

it's the purpose of poker
sure it's maybe more fun to win from better players but at the end only the chips you won counts

If you sit at the same poker table as me, I will try and take everything you have. I don't care if you're my mother, best friend, dying of cancer, or god.

I could be just a cold hearted *****. Or.....maybe I'm an atheist. Either way, I'm still trying to get your money.

Is it alright?
HELL YEAH!!!!!!
Fishes and degenerate gamblers who fall into the the "stupid people" category deserve to be taken advantage of IMO, I'm not saying I'm the smartest as I have been taken advantage of in the past, but I do believe that you should not feel bad for taking money from people who have no idea what they are doing.
They put themselves in that position.

I think its fine the name of the game is to take peoples money,
A real poker player is in the people business they are our customers and out for a good night.

If some one has a severe problem and they go crazy spend there entire wage and end up in a bad way I would have sympathy for them.
but you have a choice if we lose or make a donk play we are the idiots
we choose to do so

of course its opportunity. Jump on it.
